Why outsourcing your interview transcription is right for you

Interview recording advice

A high-quality recording is fundamental to the production of a perfect interview transcript. Here are a few tips aimed at those who plan to record interviews for transcription, based on previous interview recordings we have received:

Do not hold interviews in public places like coffee shops; background noise can distort the speakers, making an accurate transcription difficult to actualize. We suggest holding your interviews in a quiet room with minimal echo; this will ensure the recording is clear, and background noises will not interfere.

Place the microphone at an equal distance between the interviewer and the interviewees.

Ensure all interviewees know that they are being recorded and know the placement of the microphone, so that they can direct their speech towards the microphone.

Place the microphone on something soft like a cushion to absorb resonance, thus preventing echo.
